Drawdown Lift’s Climate–Poverty Connections: Opportunities for synergistic solutions at the intersection of planetary and human well-being provides concrete evidence of how climate solutions can also be win-win opportunities for meeting development and human well-being (link is external)needs while boosting prosperity for rural communities in sub-Saharan Africaand South Asia.

This landmark report produced by the Drawdown Lift(link is external) program of Project Drawdown shows that leaders at all levels of society do not have to choose among human development, climate mitigation, and climate adaptation; win-win solutions are at hand.  The Drawdown Lift Human Well-Being Index, introduced in this report, serves as a framework for assessing 12 health, socioeconomic, and societal dimensions of humanwell-being and highlighting evidence of the nexus between climate mitigation solutions and human well-being in a scientifically consistent manner.
